FIVE REASONS TO VOTE
November 2, 2010 will be here in less than one month. If you are not yet registered to vote, now is the time. Let us not complain about what we have the opportunity to change. Here are 5 reasons YOU should vote on November 2...
1. Be part of making history. The 2010 election will have impact for years/decades to come, every vote is even more important. As Floridians, we know how close elections can be!
2. Pollsters do not determine who wins elections; YOU do. Predicting the outcome of elections, especially close ones, is at best an inexact science. Pollsters and political pundits have their roles, but like each of us, they only have one vote.
3. Voting is now more convenient than ever. Early voting forms and the wide availability for alternative and absentee ballot voting makes it all the easier for us to participate.
4. To honor those in our military who courageously fight for us and our law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency workers who respond to our needs and defend the peace at home. Those who sacrifice their personal well-being in the name of our safety and security deserve our respect. Voting is a way of giving them and their families our vote of honor for their heroism.
5. To honor people who struggled for civil rights; women’s suffrage; the Americans with Disabilities Act; and the ideals of justice for all who’s diverse voices are essential for our nation’s moral health and community vitality. Freedom needs affirmation. Voting is a way to assure that our rights are protected by strengthening the voices of those for whom rights are sacred and need to be defended.
